No you didn't, that’s what I wrote :-)

I saw that the (too soft) plastic casing has marks on it that show the wrench 
cut into it and slipping, didn’t hold. A thicker device might solve that 
problem and do. Hence the idea of glueing several cheap dedicated wrenches 
together so that the enlarged surface won’t bite into the plastic.

The alternative offer is typically lazy me when I don’t want to bother ;-)
